Declassified Memo Released to Public, Shows Why Democrats Should be Scared

Republicans released a long-awaited memo Friday detailing government surveillance abuses, showing that the FBI would not have obtained a surveillance warrant for the Trump campaign without using information from a dubious partisan dossier.

The memo quotes former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who abruptly retired earlier than expected on Monday, as having given testimony that a surveillance warrant would not have been obtained without the dossier. The president had publicly accused Mr. McCabe of partisan motivations before he left his post.

The memo also portrays Christopher Steele, the British spy who compiled the dossier, as “desperate” to prevent Mr. Trump from being elected president.

A memo that shows alleged government surveillance abuse includes testimony from a high-ranking government official who says without the infamous Trump dossier, the FBI and DOJ would not have secured surveillance warrants to spy on at least one member of the Trump team, Fox News has learned.

According to sources, the memo, which has been at the center of an intense power struggle between congressional Republicans, has been declassified ahead of its expected release later Friday.

It also claims the FBI and DOJ used media reporting to lend credibility to the dossier, while the firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, briefed major American news outlets to include New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, New Yorker, Yahoo and Mother Jones.

The memo shows that after former British spy Christopher Steele was cut off from the FBI, he continued to pass information, as did Fusion GPS, through Justice Department Official Bruce Ohr. Ohr’s wife Nellie began working for Fusion GPS as early as May 2016.

It also claims evidence that Steele has a personal animus for the President Trump.

The Democrats are deceitful, corrupt liars…and that includes the ‘Deep Staters’ working in government including at the corrupt FBI, Justice, and elsewhere. They are from the dark side of life – evil lives within them.

The memo is devastating to the Democrats, the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Dems would have us believe that there is no connection between the memo and the Mueller investigation. WRONG! If it were not for the false application for the FISA warrant to the FISA Court, a special counsel would never have been appointed.

Lawyers for Page, Manafort, and even Flynn should be very happy about this. Investigation of these individuals and any convictions, even those worked out under a plea bargain, should become suspect and open for appeal based on the fact that they are “fruitof the poisonous tree.” Everything has been based on lies and what is referred to “circular reporting” by Steele, working concert with the DNC, Clinton Campaign and their FBI operatives. Bad news for those at the top of the food chain in the FBI. Rosenstein needs to go. The person who replaces him should then fire Mueller. Or Jeff Sessions should grow some balls and do it himself!

Trump’s FBI Director appointee, Christopher Wray, did everything he could to prevent this from being released. He even went to the WH with Rosenstein and all but threatened the POTUS. Then he went to the media to attack the President and the memo! He’s a bad cat and Trump got rolled appointing him. He needs to resign in disgrace.

Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Mike Flynn should immediately file Civil Rights Violation lawsuits, citing the 4th Amendment, against all of the Mueller team and all the individuals involved in this FISC warrant process, up to and including “unmasking” the entire content of ALL of the instances of the Carter Page warrants with the individual judge(s) who approved it.

Have the trials in the central part of the USA, using juries from locations with populations of 100,000 – 500,000 persons within a jury pool.

MikeB, Pres. Trump keeps picking people out of the FBI “experience” pool attempting to get somebody who is “qualified” and has experience. The trouble IS, ALL the upper management of the FBI that came from previous administrations–ESPECIALLY the Obama administration–are ALREADY HOPELESSLY CORRUPTED and involved in the DEEP STATE swamp. He needs to find somebody with a law enforcement background from OUTSIDE the corrupt FBI swamp and appoint THAT person to head up the FBI.

MAGA and make all these swamp creatures pay retribution to all their victims and sell all their assets to help pay for the massive national debt they helped create.
Then lock em up, send these swamp creatures to Guantánamo Bay Prison (GITMO) to serve multiple life sentences, plus further treasonous prosecution sentencing, and let Mad Dog Mattis chew on them whenever he gets upset.
Let’s “Git-R-Done” now!

This “smoking gun” memo still won’t be enough to convince libtards that there was no Russia collusion, any more than the leaked emails a few years ago from East Anglia convinced the same libtards that Global Warming was fake.

Libtards aren’t interested in the truth. They aren’t interested in science, no matter how many times they scream Global Warming is settled science. They already have their Narrative and they feel fine with twisting the facts however much they need to support the Narrative.

This is why it seems like the Libs constantly ignore history, real science, objective truth, and even the most simple logic. It’s because they DO ignore all these things in pursuit of their “own truth” (as admitted by Oprah).

They are cut from the same cloth as Flat Earthers. They have a superhuman ability to tune out reality with their industrial clue shields, and insert their own (meaning self-centered) social justice and force it upon other people who don’t share their vision of “their truth”, which is no truth at all. It’s a mental disease with many effects such as Trump Derangement Syndrome and it causes all the symptoms we see exhibited by the daily sideshow performed by libtards.

The Republicans better find their backbones if they want to get justice. The Democrats are so corrupt and they cheat, lie, manipulate, and resist. This scandal is so much bigger than Watergate, but liberals are spinning this as nothing worth investigating. Because the liberal main stream media isn’t covering this, I can see why the average American knows very little and isn’t concerned.

That’s why they are scattering like COCKROACHES when somebody turns on the light. I hope, at long last, SOME of these vermin finally go to PRISON for their sedition and TREASONOUS attempts to overthrow our legally elected President! Hillary and Obama need to be held accountable for THEIR parts in all this, too!

Democrats were the kids that we knew that used to lie and cheat to get ahead, that when they got older became bigger.. but never grew up. They still need to be punished and spanked… and quarantined from the rest of us.

Trump wasn’t lying you all! I myself from the get go never swayed from trusting Trump even through his candidacy. Every time someone doubted his words I would just stay quiet and I believed and still do believe President Trump isn’t a liar when it comes to very harsh accusations and doesn’t just “go for it” to make headlines. He is a great chess player and honestly I truly believe he knows exactly what’s going on before it even starts. My President is trustworthy and I am so glad this corruption is finally coming to light. GO TRUMP MAGA!

No he wasn’t. In every instance where Trump has commented or tweeted information he has been proven absolutely correct. If people think these tweets are unprofessional or unpresidential” (whatever the heck that means!), they are wrong. People who criticize his methods are just mad because he gets his word out to millions of people, without interference of spinning by the press or anyone else. He always stands behind his comments AND NEVER LIES. THE ONES WHO LIE AND CHEAT AND BREAK THE LAW ARE DEMOCRATS1

What choice does he HAVE except Twitter or some other social media? The lying Leftist MEDIA are sure not going to tell people the truth about what he is doing, and what the DEMS are doing to try to stop him from doing it!

There is really only one person who can answer, that is President Trump himself. You can be assured that there are lots of things happening behind the scenes which we will probably never find out about.

If Mueller had any integrity (yeah, I know that’s asking a lot), he would close the investigation himself. But if he doesn’t, the longer he insists on going forward without any evidence, the worse he will look.

If the memo is accurate, then the entire investigation is a sham.

Trump may decide that it is in the best interest of the nation to let it continue. Only he knows if there is anything which could be legitimately brought against him.

How so CNR/ What do we see
The FISA warrant to spy on trump and his campaign was based on LIEs.
That whole dossier was based on lies, and BOTH OF THOSE THINGS are what led to the investigation starting.
SO SINCE THEIR reason to exist are BASED ON LIES< that to me gives trump MORE than enough fuel to call for the ELIMINATION of the investigation, and the FIRING OF Everyone involved.

All that is true, Ituser, but you know that the LYING Dems and their equally dishonest media attack dogs are poised to attack him from all sides for “obstruction of justice” if he DARES get rid of Mueller, so the plain fact it, is simply is NOT worth the distraction and aggravation it would cause him to fire the lousy SOB. He should not HAVE to. Congress or that gutless SESSIONS ought to do it. But there again, the Dems and media would still blame Trump and the same reasoning above applies.

One thing Pres. Trump should NEVER DO is consent to be “interviewed” by these snakes, who are ONLY looking to ENTRAP him with a BOGUS charge of perjury or “lying to the FBI.” They’ve got NOTHING now–no evidence, no proof–even after a YEAR of frantic digging and turning over every rock. So now they’re looking to FABRICATE something by entrapping Pres. Trump into saying something that contradicts all the transcripts of his phone calls, etc. that they ALREADY HAVE. These people are EXPERTS at that kind of nit-picking, and Pres. Trump should NOT give them the chance to railroad him with their made-up BS!

I feel the opposite. I don’t CARE what hte lying media does, or how much whining they make. MUELLER and co all need to not just be fired, but ARRESTED! AND if spineless sessions won’t do it. HE SHOULD ALSO be fired!

What stop Mueller and all his merry pirañas from making themselves richer at taxpayer expense? At a mere Million dollars a day, this investigation enrichment exercise, is hardly the most wasteful government dittie! ;( All those Clinton lawyers know their money source is coming to an end.

This memo is the Democrat inspired poison pill he and his team need to swallow, and kill this off this government investigation waste of time and money. Any more money spent should be to out the Democrats and Media criminals who created THE BIG RUSSIAN LIE.

I’m guessing no because the DemoKKKrat left control 90%+ of the media and they will spin damage control like you never heard or ignore it altogether. The papers like the WAPO and NYT who published leaks and falsehoods about Trump, including classified intel like the President’s private conversations with world leaders, all of a sudden didn’t want this to come out.

Probably not in this one memo, Snowy, but the same people who uncovered THIS skullduggery and released the memo says there is MUCH MORE to come. However, this memo DOES establish that they LIED to get the FISA warrant in the FIRST PLACE, and CONTINUED to lie to get it renewed THREE TIMES. You would think the FISA judge would be PO’d enough at being DUPED FOUR TIMES to issue some kind of charge against them–unless, of course he is ONE of them, which I think very likely!

That is why a Special Prosecutor who has NO TIES to ANYBODY in the DOJ or FBI needs to be appointed. Somebody like Trey Gowdy, who is an EXPERIENCED prosecutor, would be ideal! And if a Special IS appointed, and the DOJ and FBI try to drag their feet and STONEWALL on releasing information like they HAVE been, they need to be JAILED for contempt.

Due to their complicity in ALL of this mess, prior to the election, during the election, and after the election, their whole operation should be SHUT DOWN! That whole Progressive/Seditionist/Communist/Socialist/Anti-American cesspool is beyond redemption. I’m still waiting for the “investigation” into how these rags to riches dweeb, “servants of we the serfs,” bilked their way to becoming multi-millionaires!

Mueller should never have been appointed by Rubenstein who knew his conflict of interest with Comey. The FISA court was presented with false evidence, a complete lie and never confirmed. Hillary paid for the dossier both with her campaign money and through the DNC which she owned at the time. Democrats and their sycophants in the MSM have lied and have through sedition and subterfuge tried to unseat a duly elected POTUS. Vote Democrat? I will write in a paramecium or omeba, rather than vote for the traitors.

Trump was unfairly targeted. Sessions helped create this mess by recusing himself. Rosenstein kept extending the FISA Surveillance, knowing that the Dossier was fake. This brings up the Mueller investigation. If Mueller is such a man of integrity, why isn’t he looking into the fact that Hillary / the DNC paid for the fake dossier? According to McCabe, in the just released MEMO, the FISA warrant would not have been sought, without the fake dossier. Why isn’t the DOJ and the FBI (Strzok, Page, Comey, Rosenstein, Ohr, McCabe, Hillary and the DNC) under investigation by Mueller? Why haven’t the above mentioned, been subpoenaed by Mueller? Why haven’t the above mentioned been indicted? So much for Mueller’s integrity!

.., the way ‘I’ feel about this entire issue, I would attack the DOJ (FBI) the same way the Father of the girls that was abused by ‘Dr.’ Larry Vassar in a Minnesota courtroom. I would not be ‘PC’.., but heads would roll; not the rank-in-file, day-to-day ‘honest’ people of the FBI.., but McCabe, Strzok (by the way, his wife, Melissa Hodgman, is a lawyer.., {man-o-man, this dude is in trouble!!}, Paige, Comey, and anyone else found involved with all of this ‘Russian Collusion’ scam (including Hillary) would be pinned to the legal ground of submission.., including prison time; with the general population.
Sorry, I digressed. I’m just angry that people that ‘should be’ “pillars of our society” are involved in partisan corruption; at the highest levels of government in our beloved country…, (grrrrrr!)

The democrats are following the tactics used so successfully by Hitler during the inter war period. Laws mean nothing to these zealots. Every SES (Senior Executive Service) official at every intelligence agency should be reviewed for inappropriate actions in office. The IRS, Dept of State, HHS, etc should also be reviewed.

Chuck Schumer wasn’t joking when he said the IC would get Trump. This conspiracy is so big it is easy for them to ridicule away attempts to investigate.

With nearly every top dog in our vaunted law agencies “compromised,” why should Sessions remain recused? Evidence, on any level, obtained under false pretenses does what? A prime reason that if ever I am unfortunate enough to be “falsely accused” of something that would require my having to defend myself, at my expense, in court, that defense will be made out of the end of a gun! They probably will “get me,” but BEFORE they bankrupt me. The only reason Flynn opted to plea bargain was due to the GROSS expense it was costing his family! Anybody interested in mortgaging their family’s future to make some lawyer rich? When I see these “criminals” perp walk all the way into prison, I may reconsider having confidence in our (non)Justice System….What say you now Schiff, you shifty critter, is your name in that memo?

I agree, Ituser! As long as he remains “recused,” he can remain hiding under his desk or whatever the HELL he is doing these days, like the timid little MOUSE he is, and not get in the fight against these VERMIN at all!

IMO ANY country which refuses to extradite crooks to the USA< should
A) NEVER EVER receive one legal visa, for citizens of that country to EVER AGAIN visit the USA, or work here.
B) NEVER again receive one DIME OF FEDERAL aid, even if they get hit by a 9,999 earthquake and tsunami, they are on their bloody own.
C) Block all us citizens from getting visas to travel TO THAT place.

I figure he must be, Firewagon. We haven’t heard a WORD of protest or condemnation from HIM over being DUPED–4 TIMES–into issuing and three times renewing that FISA warrant. If he was not in on the CORRUPTION, he’d be really PO’D at the way they lied to him to inveigle him into issuing that warrant!

It’s time to find out if the judge who approved the 1st warrant to conduct surveillance on Carter Page is U. S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras – District of Columbia – who on Dec. 7, 2017 was “recused” from the Mike Flynn case, AFTER Mike Flynn plead guilty to “making false statements”. It’s very unusual for any judge to recuse himself when a case is so close to sentencing. In addition, Muller’s team has, just this week, asked to delay the sentencing of Mike Flynn. Wassup ‘wi ‘dat?? Judge Randolph Contreras was [and still is] a member of the FISC in Oct. 2016 when the original FISC warrant was approved, appointed to FISC in May 2016 [therefore by Obama] and at essentially the same time the FBI’s first attempt to get a surveillance warrant against Carter Page was refused. Go figure????

JB.. I fear, not ONE PERSON will get charged for all of this.. With the entire top echelon at both the FBI and Dept of Injustice, being PART N PARCEL of this entire conspiracy imo, NOT ONE of them will have the nads to arrest anyone else involved.

Remember Ruby Ridge and Waco, to name just two other egregious attacks on Law Abiding Citizens (aka “Deplorables”) by the weaponized FBI.

They have the arrogance to lie to Congress but can arrest anyone they can manage to entrap for making an innocent misstatement. With that kind of power, most of us could be arrested if we couldn’t recall precisely what we had for supper a year ago last night!

The FBI is not the only federal bureaucracy that is out of control (BLM, IRS come to mind). NO federal bureaucracy should have arrest powers or their own courts.

Somebody pointed out in an article I read that when they had transcripts of all somebody’s PERSONAL phone calls, it would be EASY for them to entrap somebody like Flynn into saying something contradictory, and then “trump up” a “perjury” or “lying to the FBI” charge. ESPECIALLY if their ONLY reason for doing that was to blackmail the guy into giving them something–whether true or not–they could use to go after the person they are REALLY after, which is our President, whom they are HELLBENT on driving out of office with this sedition BS! All the dithering on the charges against Flynn pretty much verify they were not really interested in “charging” him with anything–only with COERCING him to give them something they could use against Pres. Trump.

Nunes and others in Congress say there is MUCH MORE to come, including the supporting documents, if only to prevent the Commucrats from using those as an excuse to “claim” the memo is not accurate and “unfair” to them. I’m of the opinion that if somebody walked up and shot Comey or Mueller in the FACE, it would not be “unfair”–it would be long overdue RETRIBUTION for their TREASON!

Please check my reply to an above comment about a possibility of a specific judge who could have been involved in issuing the FISC warrants against Carter Page. The timeline for his appointment to the FISC and the subsequent event timelines look very unusual, and if it turns out that he was involved in issuing the warrants, he’s as guilty of Sedition and Treason as Comey, McCabe, and Rosenstien.

Well, yeah, thedove, if the JUDGE, himself is not an OBAMA appointee and just another corrupt DEM in the DEEP STATE. He has been strangely SILENT, even though he was DUPED FOUR TIMES by these people! Wouldn’t you think he’d at least be PO’d enough to cite them for CONTEMPT or something?

Shrillary paid for the fake dossier ? Where is Sessions on this and what if anything does he intend to do ?
If the GOP back down – again – we are pretty much guaranteed to have the Dems, liberal media and radical elements in this country see this as a clear sign to take over the country with NO concern at all.

Shrillary, Lynch, Commie, Obamao need to be charged and imprisoned, or we have no rule of law in this country !

Of course they’re SCARED! That’s why they are running around setting their hair on fire and predicting that the release of that memo will bring on ARMAGEDDON–because they KNOW it “outs” them for the corrupt, lying VERMIN they are!

Rosenstein is so desperate to keep things covered up that he threatened the committee members that he would subpeona their phones and emails. This whole thing should show America that come election time, we have to vote in Republicans no matter what because if the Democrats come back into power, we will be right back where we were under Obama!! They are talking about Kerry or Pocahontas for POTUS next time-Lord, give me strength!
